Next I stamped the flowers randomly around the bottom of the card mat using the the Beautiful Day set. The flowers were colored using my copic markers and for some added dimension, I used my white gel pen and some white Nuvo Crystal drops for the centers.

Once the crystal drops were dry, I die cut the same flowers and laid them over the stamped images. Using Salty Ocean Distress Ink, I inked over the white card mat and when the die cuts were pulled up it left a beautiful colored background and a pretty white border around the flowers.

Moving onto the finishing touches of my card, I die cut a piece of black card stock and added the border using the set Pretty Edge Dies

Good Morning everyone!!It is Tag It Tuesday with My Creative Time and I am sharing a fun treat with a birthday tag using the newest release Stamp/Die sets~ Long Treat Box Die & Make a SplashTake a look.....

If you didn't get a chance to hop with us this past weekend, you can checkout all the awesome DT inspiration by starting HERE. This release (like all of Miss Emma's releases) was AWESOME and I am totally loving the new Long Treat Box Die!

I used that die with some pretty rainbow designer paper from DoodleBug Designs to make my treat box. Since I knew that I wanted to make a birthday treat with a balloon tag, I pulled out my Stitched Circle Balloon Dies and cut 2 of the smallest ones using matching colored card stock.

The smaller of the balloons was stacked onto the larger balloon, right above the sentiment from the new set~ Make a Splash.

I also added that small heart, also a die from the new set Make a Splash.

To complete my project, I wrapped a white ribbon around the treat box and tied it into a small bow. To attach my balloon tag onto my treat box, I did so with a cute mini clothes pin.

Filled with some treats, and maybe some $, this would make such a cute birthday present for someone special!

I hope you like my project!!!

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

To make my card I used this beautiful sunshine designer paper from Echo Park as my inspiration. I die cut the designer paper using the largest of the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies and stamped the sentiment from the showcased set~ Make a Splash into the center of the sun. For some extra details on my card, I die cut matching designer paper rain drops and popped them up falling from the sentiment as well as die cut matching Stitched Cartoon Cloud Dies and popped those up above the sentiment. The finishing touch was a heart die cut, from the Make a Splash set popped up onto the largest cloud.The whole card mat was then taped onto a white piece of cardstock mounted onto a kraft cardstock A2 size card.

Now for the entire release.....

Stitched Butterfly (FREEBIE) & Long Treat Box Die

and here is the project I made using these set....

OHHHH another fun treat holder! This one is perfect for adding lots of sweet treats and would make great party favors!!

To make my project I used the new Long Treat Box Die and cut it out using some pretty spring polka dot designer paper.To fill the window I added a piece of vellum and then started to decorate the outside.

What I love about this treat box is you can decorate it for just about any occasion! Mine was made to welcome spring (which is kinda hard since we just got 2 feet of snow!)

I decorated the front using the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves set and popping the flower and leaves up with some foam onto the left side of the treat box. For the right side of the box, I added the new Stitched Butterfly and my sentiment.

The sentiment, from this releases sneak set Make a Splash was stamped onto the smallest Curly Frames die.

For my project today, I made a St. Patty's day card for my husband using several MCT dies and stamps.Take a look and let me know what you think....

To make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of polka dot green designer paper and die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. Using the white cardstock and my MISTI, I set up the stamp sentiment and the die lettering so everything was lined up and even on the card mat. Once I was happy with the placement of everything, I taped down the lettering and stamped the sentiment in place.Running my white cardstock mat through my Big Shot, I die cut the lettering out which was then taped onto the card base.A fun design having the designer paper peek through the die cut lettering! Next I added the adorable stamped shamrock from the Mini Lolly Add On set and popped it up onto the card.For my finishing touch, I used the new Pretty Edge Dies and die cut the tiny hearts to randomly glue around the whole sentiment.

I am back from vacation and trying to get back into the swing of things both in the house and here on my blog! I promise to be around really soon to play catch-up and know that I am not ignoring all your wonderful projects!!! Just give me a few more days to make my rounds!!!!!

I am fairly new at playing with watercolors and have to be honest....I struggled with this card. Not the actual design of the card, the watercolor part...LOL!

After playing around with several different colors of my Zig markers, I settled with these pastel colors for my Easter card. I wanted something CAS so that I could mass produce these if needed and I think I came up with something even I can say I like :)

I colored each of the panels using my Zig markers and then ran some water over each color to achieve the watercolor look I wanted. I did go back and add more color to the yellow and blue since they were the lightest of the bunch. Very easy!

Next after my watercolor was dry, I stamped my sentiment from the new set~ Favorite Bunny. Such a perfect Easter set!!

I then wrapped some Totally White Trendy Twine around the card and popped the whole mat onto a kraft cardstock base. The finishing touch to my card is that cutie little bunny die cut from the newly released set~ Mini Bunny Dies

A quick and easy card to make that can be mass produced using lots of different sentiments!

I hope you like my card!Thanks so much for stopping by and like always, please stop by theMCT blog for more inspiration!
